‘What is it that makes people go forward when every instinct is to go back? I think it’s to do with the people you’re with, not letting them down…’ The tumble of rugged hills that shelter Port Stanley, the capital of the Falkland Islands, were to become the bleak setting for the final struggle of the conflict - break the Argentine lines and Stanley was there for the taking, the war would be done and dusted. Easier said than done - for the young men of the Scots and Welsh Guards, the Paras and Royal Marines the final days of the Falklands War were to be the toughest of their lives.

‘He was a real leader - he had grown up with the philosophy of soldiering.’ As dawn broke on 22 May, 1982 daylight revealed the British were back - troops poured ashore in San Carlos Bay. But it was all taking too long for the impatient war cabinet 8,000 miles away in London. With losses mounting as the navy fought off Argentine air attacks, London demanded a victory, something, anything on the Falklands itself, some sort of trophy to show this was worth it. So Colonel H Jones and 2 Para were ordered to attack the small settlement of Goose Green - attack it and take it, no matter what.

‘I wanted to get out alive - I didn’t want to die.’ The taskforce hurriedly assembled to retake the Falkland Islands departed in a blaze of red-white-and-blue and sailed south - how would Argentina and her navy respond? As the diplomats shuttled back and forth across the Atlantic trying to prevent conflict, the taskforce steamed ever closer to the danger zone. Ahead of them British submarines kept watch - and spotted a potentially lethal threat, an Argentine battleship, the General Belgrano. What happened next remains the most deadly and most contested moment of the Falklands War.
